What are the side effects of olmesetran drug?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Relatively few.: Extremely well tolerated medicine with very few reported side effects. Of course it is an antihypertensive. It can make your BP too low. It should be avoided in pregnancy.

Occurring in 1-10%: The most common listed side effects, occurring in between 1 and 10% of patients, include: Dizziness, headache, increase in blood sugar, increase in triglycerides, diarrhea, back pain, bronchitis, sore throat, flu-like symptoms, and, occasionally, blood in the urine. Note: just because they occur does not mean that the drug definitively causes them. It's just that they have been observed.
